To all 107mm it may conce/mi Be it known that we, HENRY B. BEATTY andCLARE LE ROY Jonsson, citizens of the United States, residing atBrooklyn, New York, and New York city, New York, respectively, haveinvented new and useful lm provenients in Display Containers, of whichthe following is a specification.

Our invention relates to display containers, of the type usually made ofpasteboard and adapted lto form a container or package in which goodsmay be shipped to the retailer, who then opens up the container, foldingcertain of the parts to forni a stand, and uses the package to displaythe goods, a space being provided upon which an advertisement of thegoods may be displayed.

The object of our invention is to provide a container of this type of astronger and more serviceable construction than those ordinarily in use,and still simple to assemble, either for shipping purposes, or when itis desired to use the package for display purposes. A further object ofour invention is to provide a container of this type having doublethicknesses in the walls all the way round. and top and bottom. Afurther object is to provide a rigid and substantial form of stand forthe container when used for display purposes.

Vith these objects in view, ourinvention consists in the construction,combination and arrangement of parts hereinl described and claimed, andillustrated in the accompanying drawings.

In these drawings, in which similar reference characters designatecorresponding parts in all views, a preferred embodiment vof theinvention is shown.

tend in the order named, an outer back pory tion '7, an outside topportion comprising the parts 8 and 9 separated by a folding line for usewhen the top poi-tion forms part of the stand, an outside tab portion 10and inside tab portion 11 fitting within the boXto complete the closure,and the inside top portion 12, fitted with tongues 13. These tongues areadapted to engage slots 14 provided in the top section 8 a distance fromthe folding line between that section and the outside back section ofthe box equal to the height of the outside back section so as to bringthese slots 1a in line with the bottom of the box when the cover isfolded back to form a stand as shown in Figure 1.

The tabs 10 and 11 preferably have four holes cut in them as indicatedin'Figure 4 to form tabs Q0, when the members 10 and 11 are foldedagainst each other, these tabs 20. being adapted for insertion in thecuts 21 formed in the outside bottom portion of the box, when it isvdesired to support the boX for display purposes.

At each side of the bottom portion 1, separated by foldinglines, thereextends an. inner side portion 15, an outer side portion 16, and a tab17, in the order named, the tab being adapted to iit between the innerand outer bottoms of the box when assembled.

At each side of the front and back outside portions are provided hookmembers, the members 18-eXtending from the portion 2, and the members 19extending from the portion 7, the hook member 18 at each side beingadapted to engage the members 19 at the same side of the box to hold thefront and back members of the boX in position with relation to thebottom.

When the box is in closed position, the parts are folded as indicated inFigure 3,

the parts 10and 11' forming a tab which lits inside ot the front edge ofthe box, the parts 8riandi9-forming the, cover ot the box.

In, assembling the box, the `tirst step is to fold up the hook members18 and 19, and then the front and back pieces 2 and 7, then fasteningthe hooks 18 and 19. 'Ilhe outer side portions 15 are then tolded upoutside upon the parts `10 and 9 respectively, andV the doubled` parts`10, 11 are then folded at rightfangles to the top portion 9, and thecoverclosed as shown in Figure when the box is to bey used as acontainer for shipment of the goods.

ThenV the box is to be opened and set up for display purposes, the coveris lifted and the part 12'openedout and around to the other side of thecover part S and thel tabs 13I inserted through the slits 14 in theportionS. The tabs 13 are preferably provided with` notches Q2, to holdthe partsengaged. The` projecting tabs 20 of the portions 1() and 11 maythen beinserted in the slits 21 of the bottom of the box, making a rigidsu aport for the box,` as shown in Figure 1.
